Searching for Roy G Biv - White - updated

White.

 From frost on my windshield 

 to the froth on my cappuccino

 or the arrows found on a NYC building,

 white symbolizes light,

 purity and cleanliness.

 It reminds one of home and

 that magic exists.

White can be hard 

 or soft

and every now and then

just a bit mysterious.

What does white remind you of?

Liz Davidson has snowy whites on a blue day.

Mary Jane has a celestial body of white.

Fiona has the white of peace.

Julie, like me, has a variety of whites.

Ersi has a state of white.
Lisa has mise en place whites.
India has roving whites.
Barry has silvery healing whites.
Christine has playful salty whites.
Elizabeth has brilliant snowy whites.
Karen forecasts snowy whites.
Shipbuilding has wrapped whites.
Velma has snowy whites.

Do you have white?

Indigo revisited

Once again, I find myself amazed and thankful for the friendships made via the blogging world. Your wishes for a happy birthday were appreciated. Your thoughts and prayers for my family's safety during Hurricane Sandy catch my heart and still leave me stunned at the power of friendship via cyberspace. You'd think I would have learned by now, wouldn't you?

There is a lot that could be dwelt on concerning the hurricane, however, I choose to move on with life as normal as possible and to be very thankful that this time my family was spared. Having little ones in the house really leaves one with no other choice.

With schools closed for the week...and, let's be honest, with a disgruntled heart at the week not going as planned...remember, Pam was to have been here until Thursday...my studio was the last place I could be or wanted to be. That's not to say that there is no work to be done. Just the opposite in fact.

A comment Ersi left on the Roy G Biv - Indigo post has stuck with me, so yesterday morning the indigo mono prints were unearthed and strewn across the work table,

with me oohing and aahing all the while

 and wondering just why I had put them away last year.

Acutally, I remember why.

 

The intersection of what next? 

  and how do I do that? had been reached.

I'd had a vision

of a long forgotten treasure box being found and opened

 Inside were remnants of a life -

pages torn from a well loved book,

bits of a painting,

stories written in another language,

maps and blueprints,

codes to be broken...

Ersi, I owe you a huge Thank You! for getting me back in the studio. Photographing the indigos was just the little push that was needed to get the momentum going again. School is back in session tomorrow. Can you guess where I'll be once the little urchins board the bus?

Searching for Roy G Biv - Blue Update

 Last Thursday was September's installment in Julie's and my search for Roy G Biv.

At the end of my post, I asked if you had blue...and some of you do!

Lisa over at Arzigogolare is Surrounded by Blue in Venice while

Ersi's blues are dazzling in her workroom .

Anyone else care to share their blues?

Searching for Roy G Biv - They've got green

Boston definitely has green.

That's where we've been for the past few days. Exploring Boston, feeding the ducks, riding in the swan boats, going to the aquarium and the most magnificent children's museum I've ever seen. Oh! To be 5 again and be able to play in that place.

Do you know who else has green? Julie has Maine greens. Fiona favored us with a bit of green to ponder. Lisa posted the most wondrous greens...my favorites are the patinas. But it was Ersi who stole the show!

September's search for Roy will have us all in a blue mood...or in the mood for the blues...or the Moody Blues...or...

What sort of blues will you have, I wonder?
